so ive had a 302, a c6 with shifter, and the conversion mounts for at least three months now. ive been looking on every volvo board i could find for a 240 in decent shape and cheap. posted MANY wanted adds and to no avail. well anyway, i have just found a person that lives pretty close to me that has a 242, and has no room for it as he has more projects than he can handle. he wants a fairly small price for the car which is just what im looking for. so ill be looking at it sometime next week. hopefully it all pans out and ill have my 242 v8 within a month or two. wish me luck!

p.s. what if anything should i look out for while doing the conversion? anything harder than expected for your conversions?anything i should make sure to check before i really beat on it (which i will)? suggestions would be greatly appreciated :) thanks jason
